Saturday Report: City Life, Vancouver Style. . .

I uploaded these photos early Thursday, planning to write the text the next morning before our visiting family woke.  No time for a Five Things Friday, but I thought I could manage a quick What I Wore featuring my version of a Fall Outfit, Over-60 Street Casual. Those are my Vince jeans --I'm loving the comfort and neat line of the high waist, their just-funky-enough sturdy denim, the precise width of legs, that cropped raw edge. I know very well they're not conventionally flattering, but from the inside out, I feel as if they say something about me that I'm pretty happy to own, if that makes sense. . . And I'm quite confident that this will continue to be the case for the next few years, which is important to me. . . .

Ditto my new shoes, the MOMA laceless oxfords you've seen here before. And the shirt is J.Crew, silk, which I've had for over four years (see how well it's earned its keep: I posted outfits with it here and here)

For my Friday morning post, I had also uploaded photos of my just-completed poncho.

For interested knitters, the pattern is Michelle Wang's Vale poncho.  (I haven't uploaded this project to Ravelry yet, but will do soon.)

I'd even had Pater snap one as we walked to Skytrain. . . .

And I was going to write all this yesterday morning, early, and post as I usually do on a Friday.

But a Thursday evening email from Creative Mornings Vancouver scrambled those plans, advising that my fingers-crossed registration on the waitlist for a Friday morning event featuring Shoe Designer John Fluevog had scored me a last-minute seat. The breakfast event has an 8:30 a.m. start, so I'm afraid I abandoned all of you in favour of

And I'm sorry to report that . . . it was absolutely worth it!!
Besides the talk itself -- lively and inspiring -- was the chance to mingle a bit beforehand (reassuring to find I can still do the solo social thing in a big new room), and to do that mingling in a creative (and, let's be honest) younger crowd than I've had a chance to mix with much since I've left the university (I love my age peers, yes I do, but I also value diversity and as Eleonore points out in the comments here, it can be harder to come by post-retirement).

After the talk, we mixed it up a bit in the audience in some directed discussion (first in twos, then fours, then eights -- I've had my students do this often enough; fun to be on the other side).
Another major bonus was re-connecting with a friend I haven't seen for a few months. A friend who suggested we go for coffee after and introduced me to a new bakery-café.

You wouldn't have begrudged me this, right?

Purebread Bakery, on West Hastings, Gastown, Vancouver, if you're ever looking for Delicious, a few blocks from downtown. . . .You're welcome. . . .

I got home from that outing feeling so positive about City Life and about making social connections here, gradually. . . . And I was just in time to send a young couple out for lunch without their Two. She and I played, napped, and then her parents popped back, grabbed their bags and their Little and headed off to their ferry. In their wake, the condo feels quite blissfully quiet and spacious, the teeny temptation to melancholy having been banished by the knowledge that we're really not so far apart at all. . . .

So instead of the usual Friday post, I give you a Stretched-out-on-Saturday post. . . . Now it's time for the gym, unless I decide to breakfast first (those photos of the baking have made me a bit hungry!).
What have you lined up for the weekend? And I'd love to know if you have a Creative Mornings chapter in your city and especially if you've ever attended an event. Or anything similar, just to try something new. . .
